Baking Soda and Vinegar Science Experiment Steps

You can do this activity as a group, or put it in your science center for kids to do alone. If you want kids to do it alone, make one copy of the printable and laminate it so it can be used over and over. If you do the experiment with the whole class, print out a copy for each child or each group.

Fill the bottom of the tray with a thin layer of baking soda.

Ask the kids what they think will happen and have them fill in their predictions on the sheet.

Squeeze vinegar onto the baking soda with pipettes and watch what happens.

Have the kids record what happens on their worksheets.

If kids are too young to write, they can draw a picture of their predictions and results.
